addicted...

to TV ON DVD. When I was sick earlier this week, it was the only thing that kept me sane. Do you know how hard it is to eat when your nose is all stuffed up? swallow, breathe and next bite. Luckily, I had a new show to keep me company. It took me a couple episodes to get into Big Bang Theory and I might start tuning in this season (or at least pick up the next season on dvd). When I was done with that, I moved on to Gossip Girl (fashion eye candy!) and rewatched the last season of How I Met Your Mother which is hands down my favorite show on air. I can watch that show over and over again and not be tired of it.



Next on my watch list I have Ugly Betty, Pushing Daisies and Kitchen Confidential which I've seen before but it's Bradley Cooper!

crab cakes makes a salad tastier

I hardly ever make salads at home, for some reason it never ends up as tasty as the ones that I can get out in restaurants. My mom's visit in Seattle is nearing the end so I decided to make her one of her favorite things, crab cakes! I saw Ellie Krieger make these on her show and decided to whip up a batch. It really doesn't take long and definitely spiced up the salad.



*PS: don't you love my Asian dragon plates?! It was the only dish that was clean and had a dip to hold all the salad.

sunday brunch :)

Since breakfast is the best meal of the day, I went out to brunch with my close friend, K. It's a funny story on how we became friends (we walked home in the snow last year from work) but now it's hard to imagine what I would do without her! One of our favorite pass times is soccer but more specifically the Seattle Sounders. We are just *slightly* obsessed. We haven't gotten around to exchanging Christmas presents yet and my present from her reflects our obsession.

First the adorable card!



How crafty is she?! She covered a soccer book (How Soccer Explains The World) with stalking 101. I am going to love reading that book in a cafe! I am so ready to know all about soccer for this coming season. And just for good measure my Sounders jersey, March 25th can't come soon enough.

K, I love my present and I can't wait for you to be done with school so we can go to ALL OF THE GAMES!

Two things I love about this photo: one that it's taken on a TLR and film! I love the grainy vintagey feel.
